Hey all -

I have looked all through this forum to see if I could find information on how to lower the scale from 1/4" to 1/8". I am sure it must be possible. The program is great and I have really enjoyed learning it. I am stumped on this one though. Any help would be awesome!

Thanks!

LXFree has only one native scale 1/4" or 1:50 depending on if you are using english or metric measurements. You can print at a scale or zoom a plot to effectively get output at other scales. Printing a plot at 50% yields 1/8" or 1:100 scale as does printing at 200% which is the same as 1/2" or 1:25.

If your printer driver does not let you print at a scale, then zoom is the best option.

PDF export requires that the zoom be actual size and you'll need to scale the exported PDF after it is created.
